Delvontaye M. Kelly was 24 when he was killed in Gary, Indiana, on September 23, 2017. A 2010 graduate of West Side High School, he worked at Kelly’s Soul Kitchen Restaurant and was remembered by family as a devoted father who loved life. His death occurred amid a period of elevated violence and drug trafficking in Gary.

Federal agents and local law enforcement later pursued a broad investigation into a cocaine distribution conspiracy centered at a local car wash. That probe led to the conviction of Devontae Martin for conspiring to distribute and possess cocaine and for using a firearm in the July 28, 2017, murder of another person; Martin received a life sentence. No one has been publicly charged or arrested specifically in connection with Delvontaye Kelly’s death.

Does anyone have information about Delvontaye’s final day or about people who may have seen him in Gary in September 2017?
